This scene is from a reference photo and a quick painting sketch I did last year on my RV trip. Biloxi MS is where my eldest daughter was born. I wanted to re-visit the beach I used to visit when she was a wee baby. As she loves the water and beaches I decided to do this peaceful scene to hang in her coastal-color theme bedroom.

Another trip to Fisherman's Cove yielded about 75% of this painting. The weather was so nice but started to get chilly late afternoon, I brought it home and finished in the studio. At least I think it is finished for now. I'll have to think about it .....

I started painting at 12 years of age when I was bedfast with Typhoid Fever. Since that time I have painted off and on through the years of raising a family, home-schooling our youngest, and running a family home-business. I work in the medium of oil, and have had no actual training, until 2011 I was able to participate in a 12 week online class, instructed by Johannes Vloothuis. My paintings have been displayed publicly, and have won some awards. I have sold paintings in several different states. Since my husband passed in June of 2011, I am once again pursuing my painting. I enjoy expressing my thoughts, dreams and memories through my painting. It is my goal to render paintings that will move the heart and emotions, bringing pleasant memories, inspiration, and enjoyment to others through my efforts.Some of my paintings are available. If you see a painting you are interested in please email me for details and pricing. I also do commissions with half down and the rest upon your satisfaction and acceptance of the painting.
